Heads-up at a final table with a huge chip lead

  • Vintage69 (Laguna Beach, California)

I've managed to get heads-up several times in recent tournaments with a 4:1 or better chip lead and have lost every time. Getting it all-in with the best hand and being outdrawn, I can live with no problem.

But in a couple of these tournaments, the short stack opponents have come out shoving on every hand. When I'm holding nothing, I've been content to fold until I've got a least a late possession, deep stack range to call. Then the game becomes a coin flip. I feel like I'm missing something. Do you have an episode on how to play heads-up at a final table with a huge lead you can direct me to, or if not, can you please provide some heads-up strategies for that particular situation. Thank you.
